Updated: Hands on: Panasonic GX1 Review

By TechRadar, published 18-11-2011

It combines a comprehensive featureset and plenty of direct controls (including a mode dial) with a touchscreen in a compact body.brightcove : 1282869240001The GX1 uses the rectangular shape of the GF-series rather than the min-SLR styling of the G3 and GH2 and has a fixed LCD screen. It is particularly well suited for use with one of Panasonic's new power zoom X lenses and it looks great with a pancake lens mounted.Although the GX1 has the same 15.83 million effective pixel sensor as the G3, it also has the more advanced Venus Engine VII HD processing engine of the GF3.
